We have this really cool tool that we all love. I love it because it keeps my distance from any bug or spider that I need to dispose of. The boys love it because they feel like hunters with a big gun! It's called a BugZooka.
So, when Michael was cleaning out our coat closet and said he found a spider, I simply told him to grab the BugZooka and get it - which he did.
Two days later, Nicholas picked up the BugZooka and was looking in the capture tube because, well, he just likes bugs and likes to see what was caught. And when he said, "Mommy, did you know there's a black widow in here?!," I was dearly hoping he was wrong! But looking through the tube, this is what I saw!
I found some old bug spray in the garage and sprayed it into the tube. When we were very sure that it was dead, we finally took it out to get a little better look at it. ICK.
Now I'm just pretending that there are no others like it anywhere in our vicinity - much less our house! We will all be pretty careful to shake out our coats and shoes when we get them out of that closet!!
